Challenge

Amelia Ibarra, with over 12 years of experience in devising innovative marketing campaigns for B2B and B2C businesses, specializes in email marketing. Her expertise has driven growth for SaaStr through groundbreaking campaigns.

Amelia and her team at SaaStr, a no-code team with restricted access to designers, faced challenges in creating various email content, including newsletters, ticket emails, and attendee emails, tailored to different customer journey stages.

Disappointed with their sending platform's cumbersome email builder, Amelia's team sought a flexible solution to create brand-aligned emails while efficiently managing time and resources. Being a small team, finding a tool that would boost engagement and conversions while delivering high-quality emails was crucial.
